I finally did it- all thanks to CSPA!!
After applying to numerous schools and feeling defeated, I am finally one step closer to my dream! Thank you CSPA!! I was a member of the Guarantee Program and found that there was a wealth of information to learn throughout CSPA. My favorite part of CSPA was being able to ask faculty members questions and receive very useful insight about the application process and what I could do to improve. I am grateful for CSPA and would recommend to anyone serious about getting into CRNA school and making their dreams come true!!

This is a very honest review:
This is a very honest review:
I loved the office hours on CSPA. The mentors care a lot about helping future CRNAs. Being able to ask questions was hugely valuable.
The mock interview videos were super helpful to review.
Some of the lectures are unnecessarily long and could be shortened.
The resources section is amazing.
This program is very expensive and there are a lot of extra costs even if you pay for the full membership.
I would do it again. It helped me successfully get accepted into CRNA school. Just be aware of the cost and listen to the lectures wisely. Spend your time on the sections that you feel the weakest on. I’m so thankful for the CRNAs that help put this together. I really think this is an amazing program!
Improvements I would suggest:
1. Assessment/test to show you areas to focus on.
2. More works cited info.
3. More times/dates available for live sessions if you’re a full fledged member.
4. I think the NAR section should be included for full fledged members.
Again, I don’t want this to sound negative at all. It’s a great program. Just a few things I think could improve.

Thank you for taking the time to write an honest review about your experience with CRNA School Prep Academy and the 12 Month Intensive!
We are thrilled to hear you gained acceptance into CRNA school with the tools and resources provided-- that is a huge accomplishment and we appreciate you trusting us to be a part of your journey to success!
Knowing that you found the resources and many aspects of the Academy helpful to your goals is meaningful to us.
Great news-- improvements are already under way to improve the Academy experience in the ways you mentioned.
We are moving to a different hosting platform, which will allow for better organization and user-experience for the lectures.
These are being reviewed, shortened where able and most importantly, will have stop-and-resume features (allowing you to pause a video and come back to it later where you left off, instead of having to start it over again) which we know will be a huge relief.
We are also adding Assessments to each of the sections as requested which will allow our students to understand where they excel and where they could use some additional studying; these, along with Learning Pathways that are in-development along with Micro Credentials will allow you to better utilize the lectures and showcase to CRNA Programs what you've completed within the Academy to further your readiness for CRNA school.
I do want to clarify-- there's no additional required costs outside of the program itself. Many nurses do choose to purchase (via a 3rd party) personalized one-on-one resume or essay critiques, but it is not required to do so. If you experienced differently or have additional insights to share about this portion of your review, we'd love to help.
You can reach us at support@crnaschoolprepacademy.com with those details.
PS- The NAR Phase of the Academy is included, with the exception of the NAR Boot Camp-- however that is steeply discounted at less than $100 for CSPA members; it was priced at $600 until recently so hopefully that adjustment is well-received too.
Thank you again for taking the time to write an honest and detailed review about your experience-- and congratulations to you again on your CRNA school acceptance!
Cheering you on all the way through graduation day,

CSPA 12-month Program
In 2024, I applied to seven CRNA programs and was invited to three interviews. Despite my efforts, I did not receive an acceptance. I decided to seek additional guidance and joined the CRNA School Prep Academy (CSPA) 12-Month Intensive Program in November 2024. This decision changed everything. With the support of CSPA, I entered my second application cycle in 2025 with renewed determination. This time, every application I submitted resulted in an interview invitation. By April 2025, I had already received three interview invitations and was accepted into my top-choice CRNA program! I highly recommend using CRNA School Prep Academy 12-month program!

Big part of my acceptance
I found the ICU library with lectures on pharmacology/patho that we use in practice both as an ICU nurse and CRNA to be very much useful. I impressed the panel that was interviewing me using the information that this program offered. Big part of my success. Watching the recorded practice interviews was great as well. Also I feel as though I had a solid direction/structure of the process of getting into school using this program. I talk to many people who want to get into CRNA programs but they just seem so lost on how to become a competitive applicant.

Beyond excited to be accepted to my first choice school!!
My GPA is 3.7, I have 3.5 years of ICU experience, committee, conference, shadowing and volunteer experience and my CCRN and CMC. Although I was able to get interviews with my stats, my interview skills were my weakness, especially those emotional intelligence questions.
It was very daunting to reapply to CRNA schools because it seemed that my interview skills were just something I couldn't improve. Nevertheless, I knew that I was meant to become a CRNA and joining CSPA made the process of reapplying less scary. I found a community of like-minded people with a passion for anesthesia and the program's resources helped me organize my application process. I watched the mock interviews and EI coaching videos and reviewed the clinical knowledge skills and pharmacology every few weeks. I also did mock interviews before EACH of my real ones and that really helped me get rid of pre-interview nerves. At the end, I heard back from my first choice school after interviewing with them and I am now planning to join the NAR bootcamp to prepare for going back to school!
I am so very thankful to Jenny, Dawn, Richard and the CSPA team for helping me get one step closer to my dream profession. They helped me feel confident that there's nothing holding me back from achieving my goals. The application process is very difficult but having CSPA has made a huge difference and I highly recommend the program to anyone looking to apply to CRNA school!

Opportunity of a lifetime because of CSPA
The resources offered by CSPA are seemingly unmatched. I was skeptical at first but as I began to have frequent meetings with CRNA’s who have been a part of various admission committees, I felt from a personal standpoint that my chances of getting into CRNA school sky rocketed. The learning offered through the critical care library was also incredibly useful and the mock interviews through TeachRN were paramount in my success when interviewing with various CRNA programs. I am so glad I did the CSPA 12 month intensive program.

CSPA for the Win
Thank you to the entire team at CSPA for your time and effort in making this platform such a helpful tool for CRNA school acceptance while immensely improving my knowledge base as a critical care nurse. Before CSPA, I had 2 rejections and was left searching for a better way to prepare. As part of the 12 Month Intensive Program, I was able to gain acceptance into 4 schools including my number one choice through an endless amount of resources provided throughout this academy. I truly appreciate you all being so dedicated to my journey and the efforts you took to make CSPA such a great program.

CRNA School Acceptance with CSPA
I knew I had what it took to become a CRNA, but navigating that journey alone can be daunting. However, the resources, knowledge, and community provided by CSPA are invaluable. CSPA gave me the tools to move forward with confidence when applying to CRNA school. It's especially beneficial because the academy helps you understand the frame of mind of specific things admission committees are looking for in potential candidates. As schools are getting more and more competitive each year, CSPA will give you the competitive edge to stand out and land the acceptance for programs. I'm forever grateful for Jenny, Richard, and the rest of the team at CSPA. It's the sweetest feeling gaining acceptance. I have confidence you won't regret joining the academy.

Thank You CSPA Team!
After an unsuccessful first year of CRNA applications, I came across CSPA and the supportive community and educational resources they offer. I immediately began interacting, attended a virtual conference, and joined as a member shortly after. In this past year of membership I have utilized the critical care library, attended more virtual education sessions, studied the 5 day interview prep course, attended a mentor session, reviewed pre-recorded mock interviews, and utilized TeachRN for more resume and interview practice. I credit CSPA, their resources, and supportive community for so much of my success this second application round. I applied to 4 schools, received interview invites to all of them, was accepted to one, waitlisted at another, and withdrew my other applications.
This program works!! Jenny and the CSPA team have a genuine interest in helping give you the tools to reach your CRNA goals. So cheers to you & thank you for giving CRNA hopefuls a space to grow and chase their dreams!
